Cage The Elephant - Back Against the Wall lyrics

Tonight, I'll have a look and try
To find my face again
Buried beneath this house
My spirit screams and dies again out back
A monster wears a cloak of Persian leather
Behind the TV screen, I've fallen to my knees

I said, you've got me where you want me
Again and I can't turn away
I'm hanging by a thread and
I'm feeling like I'll fall
I'm stuck here in between these
Shadows of my yesterday
I want to get away, I need to get away

Blanket of silence makes me want to
Sink my teeth in deep
Burn all the evidence of fabricated disbelief
Pull back the curtains
Took a look into your eyes
My tongue has now become a
Platform for your lies

I said, you've got me where you want me
Again and I can't turn away
I'm hanging by a thread and
I'm feeling like I'll fall
I'm stuck here in between these
Shadows of my yesterday
I want to get away, I need to get away

Now you know, yeah
You've got my back against the wall
Oh God, I ain't got no other place to hide
Chained down
Like a sitting duck just waiting for the fall
You know, yeah
You've got my back against the wall

Deep in the jungle
Camouflaged by all the fallen leaves
A hand holds up the sky while, shamefully
I make my plea the altar's calling
But my legs won't seem to stand
Guess I'm a coward scared to
Face the man I am

I said, you've got me where you want me
Again and I can't turn away
I'm hanging by a thread and
I'm feeling like I'll fall
I'm stuck here in between these
Shadows of my yesterday
I want to get away, I need to get away

Now you know, yeah
You've got my back against the wall
Oh God, I ain't got no other place to hide
Chained down
Like a sitting duck just waiting for the fall
You know, yeah
You've got my back against the wall
Now you know, yeah
You've got my back against the wall
Oh God, I ain't got no other place to hide
Chained down
Like a sitting duck just waiting for the fall
You know, yeah
You've got my back against the wall
